465 - "Terminator Tutu", Survival Of The Unfittest, and Supervillain Weapons I Promise I'll Never Build Unless Accidently Triggered

[11:01 AM] Mr. Blue:
I watched Terminator 1 & 2 over the weekend again for shits & giggles
The scene at the Technoir club is sooooooo good
I think it's funny that the Terminator keeps running into people his size who dress cool when he time travels
What are the odds he doesn't land on a golf course or inside a Sears or at a construction site?
[11:05 AM] Mr. McGreen:
Well if he landed in a Sears he'd think the Earth is deserted.
[11:05 AM] Mr. Blue:
Imagine the same movie, but he's wearing boots and a hardhat
[11:05 AM] Mr. McGreen:
Or a polo that's too big, K-Swiss shoes and cargo shorts
[11:06 AM] Mr. Blue:
Or if he landed in the water and the first person he saw was a scuba diver?
'Course they riffed on that in the 3rd one where he lands in a western bar and gets the leathers from the gay stripper.
[11:07 AM]
(to drag queen) "Your clothes...give them to me."
"If you say so, hot beef."
[11:07 AM] Mr. McGreen:
3rd one was worth watching because of the ending
[11:07 AM] Mr. Blue:
It was good.
There's a deleted scene that explains why the Terminator looks and sounds like he does.
[11:08 AM] Mr. McGreen:



[12:29 PM] Mr. Blue:
Headline: "Umbrella sharing start-up loses nearly all of its 300,000 umbrellas in a matter of weeks."
[12:31 PM]
"All reported left at restaurants by mistake."
[1:03 PM] Mr. Blue:
I guess Mr. Brown couldn't make it.
[1:06 PM] Mr. McGreen:
Maybe he had gluten by mistake.
[1:06 PM] Mr. Blue:
Poor bastard
[1:07 PM] Mr. McGreen:
"I've never seen a town so afraid of Gluten as Hollywood.  I swear I could rob a bank with a bagel." Ryan Reynolds
[1:11 PM] Mr. Blue:
I wonder if gluten intolerance is just mass hysteria
[1:12 PM] Mr. McGreen:
My doctor says it is
[1:12 PM] Mr. Blue:
Celiac is a real disease that is testable.
But gluten intolerance? Hard to fathom
[1:12 PM] Mr. McGreen:
Right.
Seeing as its, like, everywhere.
[1:13 PM]
Is it everywhere?
[1:13 PM] Mr. Blue:
Suddenly tens of millions of human beings can't handle something we've been eating for millennia?
Kill 'em.
[1:13 PM] Mr. McGreen:
Its kind of that way with peanuts though.
Peanut allergies have skyrocketed
[1:14 PM] Mr. Blue:
The cure for peanut allergies is to feed kids peanuts.
If they die, they don't pass on their peanut allergy.
No more peanut allergies.
[1:14 PM]
Yes, I've heard that about peanuts
Well...no, the treatment by exposure to peanuts
[1:14 PM] Mr. McGreen:
That sometimes works
I speak from experience because I know parents who have personally tried it.
And their kids are still allergic.
From a Darwin standpoint we could let them die
[1:16 PM] Mr. Blue:
I think we're close to designer babies though, where we can just like, remove that gene
[1:16 PM]
Yes
[1:16 PM] Mr. McGreen:
Doesn't that already exist to some degree?
Now I wanna watch Gattaca
[1:17 PM]
Oh...one of my favorite "Reductress" things recently:
"Four Sassy Glasses Frame Styles That Says Natural Selection Should Have Wiped You Out By Now"
[1:17 PM] Mr. Blue:
Hehehe
[1:18 PM] Mr. McGreen:
I'm waiting to get my first set of bifocals.
But imma look hawt!
[1:31 PM] Mr. Blue:
I guess we all should have died
On the other hand, maybe we are smart enough to overcome vision problems
[1:38 PM] Mr. Blue:
Mr. Silver - almost certainly
Me - maybe
Mr. McGreen - smilodon food
[2:14 PM]
Sting
[2:15 PM] Mr. McGreen:
Wrestler or musician?
[2:15 PM]
Calling you smilodon food
[2:16 PM] Mr. McGreen:
Oh
Odds are with our modern flaws we'd all have been dead by our age anyway
What? In the prehistoric days?
Dont forget, I'm not old like you guys are
I'm a strapping young lad
Spry
[2:17 PM]
(Prehistoric Silver and Prehistoric Blue looking at prehistoric McGreen)
What wrong with he hair color?”
It wrong. He bad spirit.”
Hit with rocks!”
[2:32 PM] Mr. Blue:
Huge numbers of people died in infancy.
[2:33 PM] Mr. McGreen:
Yeah, because everyone was running around fighting for The Prize
It was The Quickening that lead them to cut those infants' heads off.
I think my unborn son has turned my fiance into an evil she-b* from hell
[2:58 PM]
Sounds 'bout normal, yes.
How strapping old are you, BTW?
[2:58 PM] Mr. McGreen:
28, and what I said earlier about being strapping and spry...I lied
[3:05 PM]
Depending where you were living, 28 was a fine old age to succumb to things like Nile drinking-water parasites.
[3:06 PM] Mr. Blue:
Or catching caved-in-skull syndrome from your violent neighbors.
[3:06 PM]
Plenty of that illness.
[3:12 PM] Mr. McGreen:
Isn't it still that way?
[3:32 PM]
Hehe



[10:04 AM] Mr. McGreen:
When I was playing (game), I was not a regular person
[10:04 AM]
If you were a true regular person you probably wouldn't be allowed in here
[10:05 AM] Mr. McGreen:
I'm chaotic regular
[10:05 AM]
There ya go.  That works.
[10:05 AM] Mr. Brown:
This is where mad science is formed
[10:06 AM]
Shhhh!   I had dreams of super-villainy in the shower again this morning.  
No trigger words!
Don't say random provocative words like… oh... schematics for a liquid nitrogen blower I worked out!!! ... in here. 
And don't say things like dual settings: stream and cone spray!!! that might get me thinking.
Fortunately, even if I got excitable I'd never design and build such a thing...even if triggered by common words like appalling physical damage estimates!!!
[10:09 AM] Mr. Brown:
So nothing like “dark matter anti plasma acid gun”
[10:10 AM]
Right.
That'd be quite the physics trick, Mr. Brown.
"Acid gun" would be cheaper and easier.
(doesn't write that down in little red “PLANS!” notebook)
[10:14 AM] Mr. McGreen:
I want to make a hatred gun.
My hate toward something becomes tangible.
[10:16 AM]
"How does it work?"
McG "I channel my hatred of the target into the gun.  I point it, activate this trigger, and then the hammer hits the charge, flinging the lead bullet into the target."
Or do you want something purely psionic?
[10:18 AM] Mr. McGreen:
Psionic
[10:18 AM]
What would it...do?
[10:18 AM] Mr. Brown:
You'll need a Hate Helmet to power it.
[10:19 AM]
"Aww...There's a hair in this sandw- BLAM!!!!"
"You need to tune that thing!"
